Hainault RC 2-up 25

Sunday 12th October - E1/25b

Early morning fog cleared to leave calm, sunny conditions - perfect weather for racing and a far cry from the previous week's
attrocious weather. Andy Ballentyne was partnered by 2nd claim member Justin Browne and lead most of the way round to record a steady
1.3.27. The winners were Scott Povey & Barry Charlton (Shirley RC / Lyme Racing Club) in 52.47.

Lea Valley 25

Sunday 5th October - E1/25b

Conditions were grim with heavy rain and high winds deterring many riders from starting, including former multi BBAR winner
Ian Cammish. Andy Ballentyne however started despite recovering from another cold and finished with a time of 1.4.58, which although
not quick enough to get the 25 and Billroy trophies, does mean he goes into the lead in the Vets Championship.
Fastest was Richard O'Rouke in an excellent 54.39.

Molly Swann Trophy 10

Saturday 20nd September 2008 - E1/10

1.41.47 against the Easterley's 1.45.11. Although Andy and Mark were the two fastest riders, ex BBAR and National 100m Champion
Sue Gray's time of 26.36 made all the difference against relative novice Sara Carroll's 30.41. Further down the list, Adesoji

Club Evening 10

A headwind out to the first turn are the best conditions for the course and allowed Andy to record his second best time ever on the
course, scraping inside 24 minutes for only the second time with a big improvement of the previous week. The closest battle this week
was between Richard and Graham, with Graham edging it by 1 second. With Mark not riding as he was feeling a bit Tom, Andy has stretched his lead again in the Twilight Trophy.

32nd Association 25

Sunday 15th June - E1/25b

Dave Spencer and Graham Charlton were the only entrants for the re-scheduled March 25 (which was originally cancelled due to snow!).
Dave was the quickest of the two in 1.7.37, beating Graham by exactly 2 minutes although he was held up by an accredited marshall
stopping traffic in Newport for the Eagle Road Race! Fastest was the Shaftesbury's Ian Heather in 59.00.

Club Evening 10

Warm dry conditions returned and meant quicker times for everyone. Mark was again the clear winner although Andy continues to close
by a few seconds each week. He was also having a very close battle with Steve Freeman (who was taking it more seriously this week - using
his TT bike instead of his road bike) - edging it by just one second! Further down, Graham Smith was having a tussle with Dave while
Graham Charlton turned the tables on new member Justin Hunt this week. We also welcomed some new riders M.Fisher and Rachel Przybylski
who may hopefull join the club in the near future? Andy still holds on to the lead in the Twilight Trophy.

Sunday 1st June - E21/50

Riding his first 50 in a number of years, Andy Ballentyne rode conservatively to record 2.8.20 for 10th place. The winner was
Tristan Davenne in 1.58.54 ('fresh' from doing a 1.45 in the APi 50 the previous afternoon) and the only one inside 2 hours.

Club Evening 10

The rain held off and conditions were fairly calm which meant improvements on the previous week. Mark was again the clear winner
although Andy edged a little closer and still clings on to the lead in the Twilight Trophy
- although only by two points now. Graham turned the tales on Chris this week and it looks to be developing into a close battle between
those two.

A colder evening meant times were a bit back from last week although there was still a good turnout.
Mark Edmonds was again the clear winner although Andy narrowed the gap a little and still holds on to the lead in the

Chris and Graham with Chris putting in a faster second lap to edge it by two seconds.

Conditions were breezy but warm and there was a bumper turn out for the second club 10 of the season. Mark Edmonds was the clear
winner by a minute from Paul Martin, who would have been pushed close by Andy Ballentyne had he not lost 20 seconds when his wheel
pulled over from his starting effort. There were othere close battles behind as Justin and Chris tied, Steve edged out Dave and S.Morgan,
whilst Richard was just ahead of Graham. Andy retains the lead in Twilight Trophy but
it's very early days yet and there is all to play for.

Conditions were almost perfect for the our 'Come Try It' 5 mile event - open to anyone who fancied having a go at racing and not
just those who are members of clubs. We had one newcomer turn up (A.Aderishi) who turned in a respectable time considering he was
riding a mountain bike, and most importantly he was still smiling at the end of it. We hope to see him again in the future.

Easterley Open Hilly 25.2

Sunday 23rd March - E1/26

Congratulations to all of the prize winners - again a clear winner, but several good times recorded.
We had yet another record field and more than a bit of luck that the weather cleared up just in time! Didnít fare so well on teams; perhaps next year that will improve.
I would like to thank the Timekeepers John Cottee and Lily Shakespeare, all our members who were Marshals and/or helped at the Event HQ and Ron for his sterling work putting up the signs.
Also all those who contributed to the air ambulance collection; over £30 was collected which the Club will double and forward to the Essex Air Ambulance.

Hope to see you all again next year. Bring some clubmates and make a full team!

Club Hilly 20

Sunday 2nd March - E17/20

Paul Martin and son Jim Lewis showed a lot of early season form to take the first two places
in the traditional season opener of two laps round the Toot Hill circuit.
